AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is caused by Chrome’s ServiceWorker implementation not enforcing the page’s content security policy correctly. A crafted HTML page sent to a vulnerable browser can cause Chrome to ignore the CSP directives for that page, allowing attacker-provided content to be loaded without restriction.

Affected Systems

Google Chrome versions earlier than 147.0.7727.55 are affected. The flaw exists across all operating systems that Chrome supports, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score is 4.3, indicating low severeness, and the EPSS score is below 1 %, showing a low likelihood of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. The attack vector is remote: the attacker only needs to deliver a crafted HTML page that the user opens. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attacker can bypass the CSP to load scripts or resources that would normally be blocked, potentially leading to script execution within the page context.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Chrome to version 147.0.7727.55 or newer
  • If update is not immediately possible, consider disabling ServiceWorkers by setting the "service worker" flag to off or using a stricter CSP to limit injected scripts
  • Apply an enterprise policy that prevents or restricts ServiceWorker registrations where appropriate
